SEOUL, South Korea & BANGKOK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--World Cyber Games Inc. (WCG) announced that WCG 2018 will be hosted in
Bangkok, Thailand over four days from April 26 (Thursday) to April 29
(Sunday) next year.

WCG announced plans to become a global digital entertainment platform
with the world's top festival enjoyed not only by eSports fans but also
digital entertainment content enthusiasts. WCG declared that Bangkok,
Thailand was chosen as the host city for WCG 2018 as the coexistence of
Asian and Western cultures in the world-class tourist destination
coincides with WCG’s new vision. WCG 2018 will be held at IMPACT in
Bangkok, one of Asia’s largest and most modern exhibition and convention
centers.

Mrs. Jaruwan Suwannasat, Director of Exhibitions and Events Department
of Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) said, “TCEB would
like to congratulate to WCG 2018 for a tremendous event to be held in
Thailand. As the Thai government’s official flagship body for the
business event sector, TCEB is pleased to extend our full support to
propel the debut of WCG in Bangkok and help promote WCG 2018 as one of
the renowned-event which characterize Thailand’s digital, creative, and
high-value services sector. WCG 2018 is in digital event pipeline that
will strengthen the country’s booming entertainment and digital content
industry to be recognized in the international arena.”

WCG has been recognized for 14 years, as the world’s largest eSports
competition since the “WCG Challenge” pilot competition held in 2000
until the Kunshan, China competition in 2013. Many eSports fans were
disappointed as the competitions stopped after 2014, so the revival this
March after Smilegate Holdings acquired WCG is much anticipated by
eSports fans. Following an incubation period at Smilegate Holdings, WCG
is preparing to launch as an independent corporation.

WCG revealed a brand new CI to represent its new image. The new CI is a
combination of dynamic structure that embodies three-dimensional solid
bodies in a two-dimensional plane and various colors full of
personality. It symbolizes the evolution of e-sports and the solidarity
of people around the world.

With the 2018 host city and dates confirmed, WCG plans to organize the
members of WCG Committee and announce the details regarding game titles,
event content, etc. by yearend.
